Dr. Drolet Is obviously an incredible surgeon, but one of the things that sets him apart is he understands that a patient's relationship to their limbs or digits goes deeper than just function or aesthetics. I was in despair after being scheduled for an amputation of my index finger. It is neither pretty nor all that functional due to being crushed 20 years ago. Yet I couldn't stand the thought of losing it. It has literally been on the chopping block three times - and each time it has defied the odds and said, Not today. Rationally, I may be better off with three fully functional fingers (and a thumb) but the thought of looking at a mutilated hand for the rest of my life was unbearable. Dr. Drolet has stepped in with a plan to save it and I'm forever grateful he's willing to take the long shot. I know it may not work out, but I'll also know that everything possible was attempted, and that my hands are in the best of hands.
